Roasting
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during
roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat.. Tender meat or poul-
try can be roasted uncovered in your oven.. Roasting
temperatures, which should be tow and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum,
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats
Therefore the oven controls are set for Baking or
Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound
indicating the oven is working properly). Timed Baking
wilt turn the oven on and off automatically.
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,
after being removed from the oven. The standing time
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes_ This
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5 ° to
10°F (3° to 6°C); to compensate for the temperature
rise, if desired, remove the roast from oven sooner [at
5 ° to 10°F (3 ° to 6°C) less than the temperature in the
Roasting Guide].
Remember that food wit1 continue to cook in the hot
oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.
The oven has a special
6_ _"_ low shelf support (R) just
_ r_--"_'_ _=_ above the oven bottom°
,_,! _____:_ Use it when extra cooking
;.._',.. _-:___k_',<-_ space is needed, for
__ ;" _ example, when roasting a
large turkey.. This shelf is
not designed to slide out
at this position.
1. Position the oven shelf
on shelf support (B) for
small roasts [3 to 5
pounds (1.3 to 2,,3 kg)]
and on shelf support
(R) for larger roasts.
2. Check the weight of the meat,, Place the meat fat-
side-up or the poultry breast-side-up on roasting
rack in a shallow pan., The melting fat will baste the
meat° Select a pan as close to the side of the meat
as possible. (The broiler pan with rack is a good
pan for this.)
_3. Press the BAKE pad.
4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad,,
Continue pressing until the desired temper-
ature is displayed,
When the oven starts to heat, the word "ON" and the
changing oven temperature, starting at t00°F (38°C),
will be displayed.. When the oven reaches the temper-
ature you set, a tone will sound,
5. Press the CLEAR/OFF when roasting is fin-
ished and then remove the food from the
oven,,
To change the oven temperature during
roasting, press the BAKE pad and then the
INCREASE or DECREASE pad to get the new
temperature.
Use of Aluminum Foi
You can use aluminum
foil to line the broiler
pan. This makes clean-
up easier when using
the pan for marinating,
cooking with fruits,
cooking heavily cured
meats or basting food
during cooking, Press
the foil tightly around
the inside of the pan,.
